Bowyer's forced rotation policy

Besieged boss Lee Bowyer has responded to criticisms of the fact that Charlton have made more team changes than any other club in League One.  Alan Curbishley has been emphasising the 'consistent team, consistent results' theme in his interviews.

According to Bowyer, the problem has been the state of the squad at the start of the season and injuries to key players since then: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/lee-bowyer-has-his-say-on-why-charlton-lead-the-way-for-most-team-changes-in-league-one/

I can see that, although I sometimes wonder about who starts and who gets substituted and when.  But those decisions are tricky for any manager.

Akin Famewo and Andrew Shinnie should be back for the game against Peterborough, although 'back' usually means a ringside seat on the bench: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/charlton-get-positive-news-on-injured-duo-with-marcus-maddison-set-for-scan-on-ankle-injury/

Marcus Maddison is going to have a scan on his ankle injury.
